Description of the Eastbrook vacation cottage rental

Year round two bedroom cottage located on the south end of Molasses Pond on a southwest facing lot for beautiful sunsets. The property is on a small cove with plenty of rocks to keep out the heavy boat traffic. There is one neighbor across the street that is rarely here as well as a neighbor on one side that can not be seen and is also rarely around making this a very quiet area of Molasses Pond. We have a float out in the middle of the cove that is shared with four other cottages. We also have a mooring that accomodates up to a 19' boat. The dock will also accomodate a 17.5' boat. The cottage itself was built in 2005. It has a full length waterside deck and spa with views of the pond. Relax and enjoy watching and listening to the loons. The cottage is fully insulated eliminating the need to open any windows during the hottest days. It is finished 100% in T&G pine and includes a full kitchen, living room, two bedrooms, one full bathroom with tub/shower combo, and a half bath with a washer and dryer. One bedroom has a queen sized bed, the other bedroom has a bunk bed which has a double bed on bottom and a twin on top. The couch also folds down to a double bed and there is a sleeping loft with two twin beds (the loft is only for sleeping and is best for 7-15 year olds). Included in the rental price are two kayaks and two canoes for your use as well as a combination gas and charcoal grill.

Area Information

Molasses Pond is located 30 minutes north of Ellsworth in the small town of Eastbrook. The pond is 1252 acres and is known for its salmon and brown trout fishing. It has been recently illegally stocked with smallmouth bass, and there is currently no size or bag limit on them. Come catch them all. There are some big ones too! There are also brook trout, white perch, and of course sunfish! There are thousands of acres of woodland that surrounds the lake, some of which is the Lyle Frost Wildlife Management Area which is open to roam around on and there are also thousands of other acres currrently open for anyone to use as well. There is access to miles of snowmobile and ATV trails, as well as land to find blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries or to go out in search of wildlife in the area that includes deer, moose, bear, grouse, turkey, etc. It is only an hour drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park and also an hour drive to the Schoodic Section of the park.

Relaxing stay and beautiful sunsets!

September 2, 2014

Nice size house, for a small family. We loved the pond view , the dock, the kayaks and canoes that were on site. We had great weather and really relaxed on the beautiful pond. Close to Schoodic Point, which is a must see anytime we are in Maine. The hot tub was a nice bonus. The 2 mile drive on the very bumpy road definitely was annoying , but once we were on the property we felt like we were camping. Because the house is dog friendly, the throw rugs by the doors were stained and smelled a bit, but that is easily replaceable. The laundry room was a plus, but it too had a very strange smell and we stayed out of there.I would recommend this house to people who really want to get away from phones, internet,cable tv etc and enjoy the great outdoors. The sunsets and views were spectacular!

Great Little Cabin on the Water

This was a great place. It was a little tight, but we had 4 adults and 3 kids. It was awesome being right on the lake and the use of the canoes and kayaks was wonderful! It was very nice relaxing in the hammock next to the lake or sitting in the hot tub late at night gazing at the stars. The main thing to keep in mind is that this is probably a half hour from any stores or civilization, and it is a couple miles down a dirt road. So make sure that you stock up on food and supplies.

Perfect getaway

September 4, 2011

We had a great experience at the cabin. Sun all day, western facing view for sunsets, hammock, beautiful lake but a sheltered spot for the dock, hot tub, and the comforts of home all in one. We would definitely recommend this place.
(it is great but modest; perfect for a couple or small family.)
